| Description: |
An up-side brick station building on a 57m platform, with a loop siding opposite to allow locos to run-around their trains. On the up side of the line were several sidings serving a goods shed, loading bank and stock yards. Opposite these were the railway facilties comprising a turntable, engine and carriage sheds and coal stage. The station closed in the 1980s.
|
| Current status: |
The station building has been boarded up, and is in reasonable condition. The platform has been cut back from the track. The unusual goods shed has the track passing through it. A goods bank is also still present in the yard. At the up end of the yard are a number of silos which are served by a siding. Of the loco servicing facilties, all that remains is the overgrown turntable and the base of a water column.
